I was wondering if this phone supports exfat over otg. I sometimes like to check footage from my action cams after a ride and use a small type c card reader to plug in. On the razer phone 2 which i'm looking to replace due to a cracked screen and no aftermarket replacement panels, I had to root and install a kernel that includes exfat since razer was too cheap to license it from MS.

I would love to be able to plug a USB reader into my N7 so I can pull photos off my cameras memory card while travelling. Is this possible? More than happy to root if need be.
With an OTG cable, yes. Without No.
Lookup OTG in the nexus forums for more info. Requires Root to use the utility that enables the use of the cable.
After rooting and installing stickmount you can use the reader,flashdrives or just plug the camera in with a usb cable and view or download your pictures from the camera card.
I rooted just so I could use the N7 to check my gamecams without carrying a laptop in the woods.It is a little slower than the laptop when your are looking at 2 or 300 photos but works well to view and pull out the ones you want to save.I pick out a few good ones to keep and clean the camera card for the next week.
Hello all, I just got this device free from my operator, SIM free, and I would like to share this particular aspect.
First of all make shure your X SP is fully charged and you are using a working USB OTG cable adapter (preferably tested on other devices).
1. USB pendrives, SD and microSD adapters. Xperia SP supports out of the box USB storage meaning pendrives and SD adapters like Sandisk Cruzer (some old 4GBmodel) and some Sandisk 32 GB microSD car in Sony Ericsson's IM 920 adapter. All of them formatted as FAT32.
Yes I've encountered fails but related exclusively to voltage (both pendrives and SD adapters). Dunno which will work for you, better try before you buy.
2. Yes it supports exFAT. FWs prior to ...2.254 do not. I've tested them all. I am specific to the aforementioned. exFAt meaning you can mount microSD cards 64+ gigs and virtually any filesizes, think of 8 GB .mkv files.
3. It hurts when it comes to HDDs. Before anything make sure your external HDD has also an external power supply. It means you have to see a wire leading to a wall socket which is being actually connected. Otherwise your phone or tablet will never be able to power by itself a HDD, be it 2.5 or 3.5 inch. Moving on, I found plugging in any externally powered HDD does nothing by itself.
In comes the trick. I own a Xperia LiveDock DK10 for the 2011 range. It's externally powered and also has an USB OTG input. It helped me before with each pendrive which didn't work by itself when plugged in the USB OTG cable alone. Powering the dock supplied the energy the setup was lacking.
Since the most of you will find the dock redundant or missing from stocks I am glad to inform you all that some USB hub that was lying around, branded Manhattan, with external power supply, did exactly that job.
Here are some examples:
Toshiba 500 GB HDD FAT32 file format, 2.5" form factor, IcyBox enclosure, separate power supply, plugged in the 1st port of a Manhattan USB Hub, power supply powered in, mini USB output plugged in USB OTG adapter in Sony Xperia SP, fully charged. Played 1080p mkvs smoothly.
1500 GB Seagate/Samsung, 2000 GB Hitachi NTFS formatted 3.5 HDDs in powered racks, externally powered Manhattan USB hub, USB OTG cable, Xperia SP rooted, installed Paragon exFAT, NTFS & HFS+ and Paragon USB plugin for Total Commander, full size drive fully accesible.

Also Sony Nex camera, 64GB exFAT SD card inside, connected only with USB OTG cable on Xperia SP - working.
Thanks, u have photos?

Good info! :thumbup:
Hi all,
I bought my first Dremel earlier in the week so I can finally put all my evil hardware modding plans into action! First up is building a Pi into a PAL SNES case to use as a multi-emulator using RetroPie, and had some quick questions for anyone in the know…
1. Ive ordered the GPIO adapter so I can use the original controller board from the console, but will this also enable the original power LED on the SNES to work as its on the same PCB, or so I need to come up with other ideas for that? If the latter, what would you suggest given that the adapter will be using all the GPIO pins?
2. My plan is to mount the internals of an Xbox 360 wireless controller adapter (the kind you get for using a 360 pad on PC/Mac) into the case, so that the SNES reset button will press down onto the controller adapter’s button for pairing pads. I know drivers are available, but will the pi have any problems running the adapter power-wise from its USBs?
3. Given that my GPIOs will be taken up by the controller adapter, any ideas how I could get the SNES on/off switch to function as a power switch for the Pi? Ideally I'd like it to safely halt the system then remove all power when I flick the switch to 'off'.
4. Last one. I’m only going to be emulating 8bit/16bit, possibly some pre-8bit stuff, so nothing too taxing. I have heatsinks on the pi’s CPU and GPU, would a fan be needed also or will the pi be fine being passively cooled?
If anyone’s interested I can upload some photos of where I’m at so far, and I hope to get at least the hardware side of it wrapped up by midweek. Ive even mounted a USB stick into an old cart and am using it in conjunction with the original cart connector and eject bar, and a USB extender to make things a bit more authentic
So the other day i was wondering if there was a way for us to add microsd card to this phone which is specially needed for those with 8/128 variant
Because Rog 2 has 2 usb type c ports there are lots of possibilities, maybe we could use one of them to connect to a microsd card slot(if we could find a tiny microsd to type c connector)
or maybe we could make a case with a built-in type c connector and the ability to put microsd in!
as we know there has been some case models for some phones that have had a built-in battery that could connect to phone with an also built-in micro-usb/type-c port, or some other cases/covers that have a type-c connection and ability to connection controllers, like the Rog 2 kunai case that bundles with kunai game pads
My third thought was to find(or make) something like the picture attached below, a microsd adapter that can be bent and attached to the back of the phone, it wouldnt be that hard, would it??
any ideas or suggestions on this matter?
Operating system:Android™ 10
Chipset:Amlogic S905X3
CPU:Quad-Core Cortex-A55
GPU:ARM Mali-G31 MP2
SDRAM DDR3: 2 GB
FlasheMMC: 8 GB
But the device has Built in Ethernet (100mb), Type A USB 3.0 Port and Type C USB (Phone charging).
Having all the ports built in means we don't need to buy adapters / otg cables.
This is the first review I have seen:
Its big and ugly, and what the friggin 1992 is with that remote control? Looks like the USB-C port is only a 2.0, which is pointless. The official specs say it has a separate barrel jack for power -- not the USB-C port.
Also note that "OTG" doesn't apply to USB-C. The concept of "OTG" refers to the BACKWARDS use of a socket meant for a peripheral (mini- or micro-A), but USB-C is a genuine dual-purpose socket.
To be honest, the ability to plug stuff into it really isn't that critically important. I do see lots of people worried about adding USB storage to it, but that seems to be a pretty weak purpose since being a network connected device, you are free to add unlimited storage via the network, which is much more useful since that would be accessible to ALL of your equipment and not just the one its plugged directly into. For the most part, the USB port is good for an ethernet adapter, and google sells a nice one with a power adapter. The only other useful peripheral I can think of is maybe a video camera, but only if you need to use your TV for video conferencing, which yes, is a useful purpose.
But.... Nokia? Isnt that just one of the old dead names from the last century like "blackberry" that is now run by some unpronouncable arm of the people's republic of china? Consequently, I wouldn't trust a box with that name on it any more than pick-a-random-tv-box-from-aliexpress.
The only thing nice I see, is that its apparently got the "old" android tv launcher, and not the "wtf were they thinking?" one.
You are correct about the type-C port.... its just for charging only !
